DESCRIPTION:
Campbell: Pastor, Free Church of Scotland in Point, Isle of Lewis, ScotlandWhile Christians may believe that the gospel merely begins our Christian lives, Derek Thomas shows us convincingly that the gospel is the beginning, middle, and end of our lives - indeed, that it is status-shaping, holiness-motivating, and glory-providing. Moving through the grand biblical themes of Romans 8 that shape our understanding of who and whose we are, believers will see that our union with Jesus determines everything about us. If asked, 'Which chapter of the Bible would you take with you to a desert island?' I suspect many believers would answer, 'Romans 8' In a glorious section of God's Word, Paul sets before us the trials and the triumphs, the pains and the gains, the indicatives and the imperatives of living life as a child of God- saved by Christ, led by the Spirit, and cared for by a heavenly Father.

Good book Clear exposition of Romans 8. I learned a lot reading this and plan to re-read it soon. Just too much to take in on the first reading.This was the first book by Dr. Thomas I've read. He writes clearly and uses great illustrations. I found the tone to be convers. "Highly Recommend!" according to Little Dorrit. Derek Thomas is a pastor/teacher that always teaches me something new as he plumbs the depths of scripture. Highly recommend all his books. Also check out ligonier ministries to see some of his wonderful teaching videos. Kelli said Good book. Titled correctly great read with a lot of scriptural references. Addresses areas the youngest to oldest Christian will face and need encouragement on.
Finally, he unfolds the powerful promise of the final few verses of Romans 8 nothing can separate those God has redeemed from His saving love. Thomas explores Romans 8, which he calls the best chapter in the Bible. How the Gospel Brings Us All the Way Home is a powerful exploration of the manifold gifts the heavenly Father has lavished upon His people and a preview of the greater inheritance that lies ahead.. Derek W. H. Thomas begins at Romans 8:1 with the best news imaginable believers just and deserved condemnation before God has been taken away by Jesus Christ s work on the cross. Here he finds an exposition of the steps through which God leads His people in the process of their salvation, but also loving counsel on such topics as prayer and resisting the Devil, as well as exhortations and comforts for weary pilgrims. He then contrasts earthly minded and spiritually minded people, showing that only those who are spiritually minded know life.In Romans 8:29 30, he explores several steps in the process of salvation foreknowledge, predestination, calling, justification, and, finally, glorification which show God s invincible purpose in redemption.
